News from Guam
Bede Jr. emailed from Guam today with lots of awesome photos. He just returned from a mission and all went well. I wanted to share with all of you his pictures and I will try to keep everyone updated on news and events in our most exciting life. (Read that with a great deal of sarcasm). Bede Jr. did call this week to let us know he will deploy to Kirkuk, Iraq in Nov. of this year. He will be a flight instructor. training the Iraqi Air Force. It will be a year long deployment. He is excited about it. He asked to go. I am pleased for him and extremely proud. But as his mother...well that's a different story. Keep him in your prayers, please.
Joanna just had her wisdom teeth extracted last Friday. I returned to my "mother" role and went to KC to help her out. All went well and she is doing fine. I took a video of her with my phone post op as she was coming out of the anesthesia. Fortunately for her it wasn't saved. So the memory of her telling me the same story at least 6 times will have to remain only in my head... It had something to do with her shoes and how much the dentist liked them... Of course her mouth was stuffed with gauze at the time as well, so her words were slurred and hard to distinguish, but that didn't keep her from talking. She felt well enough the next day to do a little shopping.
Enjoy the photos from Guam. I will try to keep this post updated often.
